In comparing Park Place to
Crestline, there are only a few components to compare because these two places are so different. Park Place is in an urban area in comparison to
Crestline which is more of a suburban area. Both have new
urbanist designs but in different aspects. To me, Park Place is more of a neighborhood than a community. It has the community feel to it, but not all the community components. Park Place is a mixed-income partially subsidized apartment neighborhood in an urban setting. It has no civic buildings, and no retail.
Crestline is a community with a City Hall, Fire Department, Police Department, public library, and main street retail. Neither of the two, Park Place or
Crestline, are ethnically diverse.
Crestline is not very economically diverse either. Essentially, Park Place is an urban Apartment complex designed from New
Urbanist principles.
Crestline is a suburban community mostly made up of single family homes but also includes a "city center" with retail and civic buildings. Both have New
Urbanist principles implemented, but are still two very different places.
